Hi

Our product uses quite complex data model and we are looking for ways to speed up data access, especially large reports in the range of 25,000+ records.
One of the ideas was to look into OLAP, or now Business Intelligence, tools. After some reading it seems to me that OLAP is completely separate product - it is the Express Server that runs its own database, and tools like Express Objects, Express Analyzer that use the Oracle 9iAS and Express Server technology. You can still connect to your Oracle database or import/export the data for analysis, reporting, etc. but you have to set up completely new environment.

We hoped that we could use OLAP tools to point to Oracle 8i database and use it to provide faster access to our complex data model but it does not seems so straightforward. Or maybe I missed a tool. Could someone, please, correct me?

Thanks

Witold
